Spoilers ahead

Orm Ivan Okhlobystin, an anteater-like troll, has spent a year after the Snow Queen’s defeat thawing out the rest of his kin and settling into life with his grandmother Rosa and Gerda’s pet ferret, Luta. He works as a miner in the troll village, trying to keep things steady, but a fateful oath he makes at Lake Gao—to never tell another lie—unleashes a dangerous consequence: his reflection suddenly comes to life and starts prodding him toward deception, pulling the strings behind the scenes and nudging him toward social missteps, including lying.
